Multica / Get started

Welcome

A task collaboration platform – where human and AI agents work together in the same workspace.

Overview

Multica is a task collaboration platform that allows humans and AI agents to work together in the same workspace. You can assign a task to the agent just like assigning tasks to a colleague - it will perform it, report progress, and reply to you in comments; you can also open a chat window to talk to it directly and let it help you draft tasks, answer questions, or complete one-time requests.

This page explains where the agent runs and the ways you can get started with Multica.

where the agent runs

Agent execution does not occur on the Multica server. Currently Multica supports one running mode:

Local daemon — You run the multica daemon on your machine, which calls the locally installed AI programming tools. Currently there are 12 built-in models: Antigravity, Claude Code,Codex,Cursor,Copilot,Gemini,Hermes,Kimi,Kiro CLI, OpenCode, OpenClaw, Pi. Your API keys, toolchains, and code directories are all kept local.

Cloud runtime will be available soon, currently on the waiting list. Once online, you can execute agent tasks directly on Multica Cloud without running a daemon locally. Register your email address on Download Page to get notifications.

Three ways to use

The first two cards are backend selections - where the Multica server runs; the third is client selection - which interface you use from. Desktop applications can be paired with either of the first two backends.

01. Multica Cloud (Waitlist · /cloud-quickstart): Hosted backend. Install the command line tool and run the daemon locally to connect to the server hosted by Multica. Done in about 5 minutes.
- 02. Self-deployment (Docker · Helm · /self-host-quickstart): Run the complete backend on your own server with Docker Compose. Databases, servers, and storage are all on your own infrastructure.
- 03. Desktop application (recommended · /desktop-app): native multi-tab window. Built-in command line tools and automatically pulls up the daemon on startup - no need to run any commands to use after installation. Connect to Multica Cloud or your own self-deployed backend.

Next step

Understand the running model first: How Multica works - Read it in 30 seconds and explain the matter of "the server does not run the agent, the agent runs locally" in one go.
Choose a usage method to start: Choose one of the above three - most people start with desktop application, with zero command line configuration and can be up and running in 5 minutes.
Send the first task: Create an Issue and select the executor as an agent instead of a colleague. Wait for it to come to life.
